Strong entrant in the feature-laden, low-priced coffee maker market This is my third coffeemaker of my “career,” the past two Krups and DeLonghi, neither of which lasted very long (stopped working and carafe broke with slight tap against sink, respectively), so I used past experience and current reviews to settle in on a couple of models for #3. This was one of the two finalists, the other the Hamilton Beach 46201, and I chose this because: (1) Easy view water window that’s at least on the side (front would be ideal), for it’s a bit dark where I have my coffee maker, and I mainly want to spot whether I had put water in there or not; (2) large buttons/better display; (3) it used a #4 cone filter, and I had a couple dozen or so paper filters plus an used permanent #4 filter from coffee maker #2 that I hoped would work, which would save me having to buy another permanent filter, a $10 or so savings over the other (with coffee maker #2, I was trying to use up the rest of my paper filters before using the permanent filter, but I didn’t make it…
Performs as advertised. After one week, I’m very satisfied. Primary functions I wanted were cone shaped filter, automatic shutoff, adjustable coffee strength. All were satisfied. The unit is attractive enough also so no complaints from the other half.
Simple, functional, easy to use…could just use ONE silly little thing. Had to switch coffee pots and brands after my second Black & Decker croaked. (The first one, the pot shattered in my hand for no reason, the second one, the electrical stopped working….both had these problems in the “under one year” window…needless to say, I won’t buy anything of theirs again.) This coffee pot is exactly what I needed. Simple, easy to use, easy set up, reliable and makes a good pot of coffee. I don’t need bells, whistles, fancy attachments or options, so this was just fine for me. All I needed is something that had a timer, auto shut off, and made coffee. I only make about 4 cups each morning, so I didn’t need anything high capacity, but I wasn’t down for a single cup maker, so the brew option of “1-4 cups” was pretty neat. The ONLY complaint I have…and this is so minor it’s almost not worth mentioning, but I will anyway…is that the clock display doesn’t LIGHT UP. You can’t read it in the dark. If Hamilton Beach ever were to go back and…
